Preparation

  1. Soak cashews for at least 4 hours. When fully tender, remove water and rinse well.
  2. Add lemon juice, apple pectin, salt, nutritional yeast, and the contents of the probiotic capsule to the softened cashews. Blend very well in a food processor or blender until smooth and combined.
  3. Place the mixture in a well-greased bowl and smooth over the top. After about an hour, carefully remove the cheese from the bowl. It will still be a little soft.
  4. Roll the cheese well in your spices and leave it in the refrigerator for a few hours. Serve.
